Try to reduce stress levels.
This can be done using the following methods:
-
Schedule.
Sleep at least eight hours. Try to wake up and fall asleep at a certain time. The same goes for meals – choose a specific time for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
-
Walks.
Daily walks that last for an hour or more to allow the body to recover.
-
Rest according to the scheme “4 times”.
For people with social anxiety disorder, rest is very important. Follow the rest regimen according to the scheme: rest once a day for 15 minutes to 2 hours, once a week for 24 hours, once a month for 2-3 days and once a year for 20 days.
In many cases, depression is combined with social phobia, so the body needs more rest. This will help restore your strength and avoid the development of many diseases.
-
Try to communicate with other people.
You can attend a yoga class or a clay modeling lesson that involves teamwork. Meeting and exchanging information will help you feel better. Do not be afraid to discuss interesting information with others, express your opinion.
-
Find an activity that makes you feel important.
It is important for people with sociophobia to know that their activities are meaningful and useful. It will be very appropriate to take part in volunteer and charity events.
Think about how you can treat others. They can inspire, motivate, delight with their actions. You will be important to them, and you will no longer need the neurotic satisfaction of your own dignity through aggression, ignorance, isolation from people. You will be able to influence your loved ones and gain their trust, intimacy and support, which you sometimes lack.
-
Learn to build relationships with people.
You don’t have to involve new people in your life; for a start, you can build better relationships with loved ones. Your task is to try to communicate with them. If the relationship is now based on passive aggression, try to make an effort and talk about what is bothering you, ask questions, show your interest. Try reconnecting with people you haven’t talked to: call, write, make an appointment.
-
Write down your achievements.
Write down and share your achievements. If you find it difficult to share with others, start describing your story, emotions and impressions on a blog or just on paper. Also, if possible, try to share your successes and achievements with loved ones.

One of the simplest and most difficult rules at the same time is not to take everything that happens close to the heart.
People who are highly dependent on environmental factors and events are more likely than others to suffer from social phobia. You need to calmly accept absolutely everything that happens in life. This approach helps not to focus on one event, but to achieve goals. A person’s life is short to spend it on unnecessary stress and worries. There are a lot of pleasures that can add more happiness and joy to human existence.
Social phobia is a curable disease in 99.9% of cases. This disease is just an unpleasant obstacle that prevents you from being a successful person. You need to love, respect yourself, take medication (Aropax, Aurorix) and recovery will come very quickly. The human mind is able to cope with any psychological illness.
